Healing Happens When You Live: Jovhannah Tisdale on Trauma, Energy, and Sacred Wellness | Conversations with a Chiropractor Episode Description: Can healing really come without fixing every piece of your past? In this illuminating episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Jovhannah Tisdale—licensed massage therapist, energy worker, intuitive coach, and founder of The Culture Spa in Wake Forest, NC—for a soul-level conversation about trauma, forgiveness, and the holistic path to healing. Jovhannah shares how surviving an abusive relationship and navigating depression led her to acupuncture, yoga, reiki, and deep spiritual work. Together, they explore what it really means to heal, why perfection isn't the goal, and how even your Type A tendencies can become part of your path. It's a powerful reminder that true healing isn't linear—and sometimes, the most healing thing we can do is simply keep living.

Whether you're the person living with PMDD or the partner of someone who does, recognizing these patterns is your first step toward healing.I recently found myself navigating the painful terrain of psychological abuse in a relationship where my achievements became targets for manipulation. The push-pull dynamic—being love bombed one moment and emotionally abandoned the next—created the chaos and confusion that signal an unhealthy connection. Through tears and self-doubt, I discovered that taking my power back required first naming what was happening: "This is emotional abuse. This is psychological manipulation. This is not love."For those with PMDD, our vulnerability increases during luteal phase when we desperately need validation and support. This makes us prime targets for narcissists who sense our deep capacity for empathy and forgiveness. Breaking free starts with meaningful detachment—not as punishment, but as protection for both parties. The mantra that saved me was simple yet profound: "I can love someone from a distance while protecting my peace."Creating boundaries doesn't always mean cutting contact immediately. Sometimes it means limiting what you share, controlling when you respond, and recognizing that "my silence is my power, not my weakness." Most importantly, maintain your daily routines. When I reclaimed my morning practice of prayer, reading, exercise, and journaling, I reminded myself that every choice was a step toward freedom.You deserve relationships where your emotions aren't invalidated, where you don't need to shrink yourself to make others comfortable, and where love doesn't come with the price tag of psychological warfare. If this resonates with your experience, know that your journey toward healing has already begun. Choose yourself consistently—especially when it's hard—and watch how quickly your innate power returns.

This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Teresa Pitt Green, co-founder of Spirit Fire, a ministry dedicated to “facilitating healing dialogue among those wounded by abuse in the Roman Catholic Church.” Teresa shares her own story of healing from abuse, the challenges she experienced, and what she learned along the way. She also shares practical advice to help priests approach conversations with survivors, common mistakes to avoid, and insights into the complexity of what it's like to heal from abuse. Ultimately, it is Jesus who heals, and He can use whatever we have to offer to bring about restoration in the Church and her members.  If you are experiencing or have experienced abuse of any kind, we encourage you to reach out to Teresa or check out her resources on Spirit Fire's website.   Key Points: Navigating conversations with survivors of abuse requires sensitivity and receptivity For many survivors of clergy abuse, there is little distinction between priests and abusers  Healing from abuse is an ongoing journey, it isn't something someone can just “get over” If someone approaches you about abuse, be careful to listen and not judge their experiences Even if we make a mistake in our approach to a conversation, God can still work through that moment. He is the one who is ultimately doing the healing work The journey of healing is complex and nonlinear   Resources: Spirit Fire's Website   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Recognizing symptoms of abuse trauma is crucial for healing. Childhood experiences significantly impact brain development and relationship expectations. Emotional abuse can have more lasting effects than physical abuse. Self-defeating thoughts often arise from past abuse experiences. Healthy relationships are essential for emotional well-being. Support systems are vital for those recovering from abuse trauma. There is a stigma surrounding discussions of abuse that needs to be addressed. Self-care is essential for mental health and recovery. Neglect, whether of children or the elderly, is a form of abuse. Survivors of childhood trauma often struggle to form healthy relationships. There is a pattern where survivors are attracted to abusive partners. Retraumatization can occur when entering new unhealthy relationships. Childhood trauma has long-lasting effects on self-perception and relationships. Healthy relationships are often modeled in childhood. Parents play a crucial role in their children's emotional development. Breaking the cycle of abuse is possible and necessary. Understanding trauma is the first step towards healing. ---------Order Hacka Merch - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://the-hacka-podcast.myspreadshop.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠------------Watch every episode - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/TheHackaPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on social:Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thehackapod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/hackaorg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@thehackapod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Navigating the aftermath of narcissistic abuse, coercive control, and domestic violence can feel overwhelming. The scars left by these forms of abuse run deep, affecting self-esteem, causing isolation, and trapping survivors in cycles of fear. Even after separation, post-abuse struggles continue—often amplified by legal battles, financial control, or ongoing manipulation. For parents, children are often silent victims, suffering from the emotional fallout of abuse. In this episode, Sybil Cummin, Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Rising Beyond Power and Control, shares her expertise on healing from narcissistic abuse and coercive control. Sybil offers practical advice for survivors, including those dealing with post-separation abuse and navigating the family court system. As an advocate for legislative change in Colorado, she's committed to helping survivors reclaim their lives and break the cycle of abuse.

We'd love your feedback! What resonated for you in this episode? What do you want more of?One of the most devastating consequences of coercive control and domestic abuse is the stripping away of the victim's identity and sense of self.The emotional and psychological abuse leads victims to feel incapable of doing even small tasks that may once have felt easy, let alone the belief that one can follow their dreams.What if finding a way to take that first step towards your dreams could catapult your healing?On this episode of The Rising Beyond Podcast, I talk with Lola REid Allin on how following her dreams to become a pilot allowed her to escape her abusive marriage in a time when it was shocking for a woman to leave her husband.  In this episode we also discuss the harmful culture in the male dominated profession of aviation and what leads to this harassment and “boys club” culture.Lola shares her reason for writing her memoir,  HIGHWAY to the SKY: An Aviator's Journey. It is a way that she can bring light to the many women's issues that prevent women from living out their dreams.About Lola: Lola Reid Allin is a survivor, former Airline Transport Pilot, pilot examiner, and the first female flight instructor at two flight schools (BC & ON), and the first woman to fly the Twin Otter (DHC6/300) for a scheduled air service, commemorated on the Wall of Women in Aviation History at the Bush Plane Museum in Sault Ste Marie.In addition, she is a SCUBA Dive Master, and an award-winning author and photographer whose work has appeared in many notable local, national, and international publications, including National Post, Globe & Mail, Toronto Star, National Geographic, Santa Fe Centre for Photography, Verge Magazine, & Grapevine Magazine. To promote the role of women in aviation and to encourage other females to consider aviation careers, Lola is a speaker with the Northern Lights Aero Foundation & the Eastern Ontario 99s Education & Outreach Committee. In 2022, she and Robin Hadfield, the International 99s President, created the New Track Scholarship, an annual award for female pilots.Connect with Lola: https://www.lolareidallin.com/https://www.facebook.com/Lola.Reid.Allin.Pilot/https://www.instagram.com/lola.reid.allin/https://www.linkedin.Please leave us a review!

She faced false accusations, family betrayal, and deep loss, forcing her to abandon her entire life. Despite all this, she chose forgiveness and, through God's grace, experienced profound redemption in her darkest moments.Jonathan's guest today had countless reasons to withhold forgiveness and remain bound by the trauma of severe abuse.

There's a big difference between being a victim (having been harmed) and adopting a victim mentality. And the difference relates to how an individual responds to adversity. In this episode Tracy and Debra explore the 6 ways a  victim mentality can impact how individuals perceive and respond to conflicts. So, why is it so important to address victim mentality when working with clients? Because victim mentality can escalate conflict, can leave individuals feeling powerless and helpless, and can prolong the healing process and hinder emotional well-being. But they also share 9 tips for helping clients break free of this mentality so they can can experience greater emotional resilience, acceptance, and inner peace during and after the divorce process.It's important to recognize that overcoming victim mentality is a journey, not a destination. Even with the best support, It requires a ton of self-reflection, courage, and a willingness for our clients to challenge their own beliefs and perceptions. Yet, by acknowledging their own agency and  responsibility for their own thoughts, feelings, and actions, clients can break free from the cycle of victimhood and reclaim their power to shape their divorce, minimize conflict, support productive co-parenting relationships, and see the possibilities for their new future.And don't forget to register for the FREE Save Your Sanity Divorce Summit that kicks off on Monday, April 22.
